Transforming lives: From an end-of-life vehicle to a digital classroom

Mahindra Accelo brought the magic of digital learning to a senior primary school in Khanpur, in Noida village. Recognising the limited access to technology in the local schools, Mahindra Accelo's CSR project, named "Transform," aimed to recycle an 'end-of-life vehicle' into a state-of-the-art digital classroom.

This ground-breaking project was made possible through the expertise of Autofabrico Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd., which successfully transformed the decommissioned bus, procured among a batch of 14 buses in an auction from the Haryana Transport department, into a vibrant and engaging digital classroom. Having previously executed similar ventures for other organisations, Autofabrico ensured a seamless transition and a compelling learning environment for the students.

Before the transformation, the school lacked even a single desktop or digital instrument, leaving 275 students deprived of the benefits of technology. Thanks to "Transform," these enthusiastic learners now have the opportunity to access eight brand-new laptops, completely revolutionising their educational journey. Equipped with these tools, the 20 dedicated teachers can conduct interactive sessions, opening up a whole new world of digital possibilities.

Here’s what Bharti Srivastava, the Principal, had to say about the transformation.

“Thank you for this innovative project.  Our school did not even have a desktop, and you have provided us with a digital classroom.  These laptops are the first digital experience in school for these children, who come from economically challenged families and have big dreams for their future.  All our students are learning about computers very enthusiastically thanks to the digital classroom.”

The impact of "Transform" extends far beyond the tangible resources provided. The students' exposure to digital learning has skyrocketed, fuelling their motivation and igniting their digital dreams. Moreover, this transformation has instilled a deep sense of pride among the students, who now boast a cutting-edge digital classroom in their school.

Mahindra Accelo's commitment to empowering communities through innovative solutions has once again transformed lives. By repurposing an end-of-life bus, "Transform" has created a beacon of learning, inspiring generations of students in the Noida village.
